Grading Policies

In addition to the campuswide grading system, the Leeds School of Business enforces the following policies:

Grade Changes
Final grades as reported by instructors are considered permanent and final. Grade changes will be considered only in cases of documented clerical errors and must be approved by the instructor and the associate dean of the Leeds School of Business. 

Pass/Fail
Students in the Leeds School of Business may not use courses taken on a pass/fail basis to satisfy required business, required non-business, or elective business courses, with the exception of an approved academic internship.

  • Only non-business electives may be taken on a pass/fail basis.
  • A maximum of 16 hours of pass/fail credit may be applied toward the B.S. degree in business administration.
  • Transfer students may take 1 hour of pass/fail for every 8 hours successfully completed at this institution.
  • Pass/fail determination must be made within the first two weeks of the semester and is irreversible.
  • A maximum of 6 hours pass/fail may be taken in any one semester.

Incomplete Grades
The only incomplete grade given in the college is IF. An IF grade is given only when documented circumstances clearly beyond the student's control prevent the student from completing the course.

  • Generally, students should make up the missing work and not retake the entire course.
  • Students should not register for the class a second time, and the work should be made up with the instructor giving the IF.
  • All IF grades must be made up within one year or the IF will be changed to a grade of F.

Failed Courses
Failed courses may be repeated, but the F will be included in the GPA unless the student repeats through the Course Repetition progam. For more information on Course Repetion, go to http://registrar.colorado.edu/students/registration/course_repetition.html

Withdrawal
Students may withdraw any time before the beginning of the final examination period. Students who withdraw during the semester are not assured admission the following semester but will be considered on an individual basis if space is available.
